I can't believe they haven't broken any laws! Beggars belief!!

They've certainly broken laws that apply in NZ with respect to privacy. It is illegal to copy data unless express permission is given.

Kudos to the Sunday Telegraph for not publishing the pictures.

I hope Apple moves on these turkeys and hits them where it hurts, it's just stupidity at its best.

Personal data...private data/ Sure it is illegal to publish/distribute without consent or approval. In fact it was stolen wasn't it?

Ken, I hate to imagine....anyone at all! :italiamac_rolleyes:

imagination is a funny attribute of human nature. Can be terrible or nice. Dilemma and at times nothing to do with the real Mccoy! hence always thirsty for more and never satisfying. :lol:
